As our regular readers have probably noticed, flashquake has never accepted advertising. However, in an effort to raise revenue to embark on new projects — like compiling and publishing a print anthology of selected work from our online journal, offering spoken word CD recording of stories, essays and poetry that have appeared in our journal — we have become an Amazon.com affiliate, and we hope that you will use one of the links below to purchase books that our editors have read and can recommend to you.

Of course, if there are any other books, music, DVDs, videos or merchandise you would consider purchasing from Amazon.com, we would appreciate it if you could use the link at the bottom of the page. flashquake will get a commission on your purchase, which will help us pay our writers and expand your options — without resorting to the advertisements that clutter other sites. Thank you for your support!
